JOHN SCOTT, Sole Agent openly and meant more covertly. The consequence of this untimely hint being thrown out was tit at the inhabitants very naturally declined to, con gregate at a place where Danish opinions were certain to be at a discount, and where they would not •be able to get their wishes attended to at all. It ma ybe sup posed of what incongruous elements the so calleo meeting was composed, and yet this apology for an assembly was des!gnated a gathering of the inhabitants of the locality for the purpose of protesting against the propositions entertained at the Conference relative to the Diechies. The circumstances that took place at this meeting fully carried out the descriptions given of the manage. ment which had convened it, and the marceuvres that had animated its assistants or presiding siel e it E ,. A large concourse of the meeting was composed of that heterogeneous class who go about from place to place for the purpose of aiding and abetting any designs that may be convenient at the moment, and enact the role of any community that may pro( convenient to the parties actively engaged in the carrying on of a transaction. The "little clique" made desperate efforts to effect their ingenious but unprincipled purpose, and tne decorations, See., were very profuse. There does not appear that muct; was done, after all, in the way of proving the eagerness of the assembly for a change. A few protestations were made which called forth expree sions of dissent from the few Danes who were there, which c:rcumstance significantly declared hoe much and bow far their interests were concerned it the hffi.ir. As might have been exvected there wilt, some dist urbaece witnessed on the separation of the motley group for divers places, which professed to be the inhabitants of the place assembled together for the purpose of unanimously declaring their feel ings in their new and strange position. Of couret in the skirmishes the Danes were selected for the victims, and a few of the burghers. who . had already been insulted, were arrea•ed. The Anil rian soldiers, however, had the sense to put an end to the absurd arid unjust pro ceeding. Had the troops been Prussian, how di► ferent would, in all probability, have been the remit. This event proves that there must be some thing fundamentally wrong in a system whict upholds such subterfuge, and takes advantage o ouch mean devices to gain a trivial purpose an( accomplish the desired end. Toe greatest tyranny has been exercised in dealing with the North Scaleswigers throughout, and they hove ad along testified their unwillingness to become exclusively Germane; and in consequence of this exhibition o feeling on their part, great outrages have been committed on their liberties, and their rights anc privileges have been sacrified on several occasions. Their newspapers have been interfered with, their editors put into prison, and their deputies have ales been incarcerated. After many arbitrary regula tions have been laid down, such as preventing tht rise of the Danish flag and forbidding the celebre tion of the birthday of CIirtISTIAN the Ninth, al insult is put upon common sense by this endeavour to get up an apparent demonstration in favour a the Germans. When a people are in earnest ape( a subject it needs not the meeting cc the assembly to give it utterance, their feelings are expressec in a hundred unmistakeable forms, but the wily deceivers and archehypocrites persuade themseivet that they can contrive to hoodwick others, and thu, overawe the natives themselves by their dex• terity.

It would puzzle any one veil verse d i n th e and experienced h i t h e tact i cs mysteries of politics, of mancenvring, to divine what will be the next steps taken by the Prussians and German e in order to carry out the designs which they have formed so skilfully and cherish so fervently in their minds and memories. One of the last attempts, in a minor scale, was the show of a meeting which was put forward, soi•disant, in favour of the new regime, but known to the initiated to have been arranged and planned beforehand, and not to have sprung spon taneously from the wishes and aspirations of the people it affected to represent. This assembly pur ported to have been convened for the sake of pro. testing against the amalgamation of the northern part of Schleswig with Denmark. The accounts given in the German papers set forth in glowing terms that she or seven thousand inhabitants met there to testify to the wishes and profess the feel ings of the people. This record does not tally with a private source of information, and it is well to note the peculiarities which mark the difference be. twee"' them. A letter from Haderslen states that the demonstration was got up bnanse it was deemed requisite to have one, and this place was in some r e epects the most suitable for carrying it out. The adroitness and dexterity employed by the origina tors of the plan were worthy of a better cause, and displayed the rescnrces that are at the command of these mar tea vrers. placards which announced the meeting were not suffered to contain allusions to the real secret of the whole scheme, but they v,gue:y wade mention of the division of S chleswig, whin was threatened, and advised a protest being made against the fulfi;ment of such an intention. The best proof of the nature of these attempt s ie given in the fact that Austrian soldiers had to keep guy rd aver the meeting. A general there went EC far as tp say that the troops were to attack the assembly in case of any disturbance taking place, and.that such annoyance was not likely to emanate from any but Danes. There was ma li ce prepense it the notion of such a remark, and this certainly de. monstrates very aptly what views are entertainec by the presiding Powers, and what craft they die play when working cut their designs and putting their plans into caacution, The utterance of such sentiment was a suggestion that . implied much We are so accustomed to maintain our forces it every quarter of the globe, to assert our supre. many, and to guard our rights in every habiteebt Mr, that it lees perhaps become too much a mat. ter of course to enter upon dangerous or d fano adventures without suftic'ent consideration. The risks of climate and the evil influences of undrained and marshy lands are formidable foes to cope with, and often prove more deadly to our brave men that any foreign enemy. In some instances, too, Natur , herself protests—the uninhabitable and pathless swamp and impenetrable thicket b .ffie the bolder invader and defeat the most persevering attack Alt the obstacles which soil, climate, and genera condition can put in the way of the soldier appea to combine on the perilous shores of the Go Coast. According to a detailed acceunt supp to a erne mporery by one familiar with the die trict, its evils have been underrated rather that exaggerated. Food is deficient for sheep, and cattle are luxuries; the means of communica tion ere bad, for the roads are no more than abeep-welke. Dense and almost impassebis forests biock the p.th, bat more perilous an• more deadly than any other adversary is the pea tilential malaria of the swamps described by this traveller as an irresistible, unseen foe. There ie little room to wonder that Mr. WINWORTH READI , should further add that the whole margin of tht West Coast is the domain of fever, dysenters and every kindred ill, Nor need it surprise us that under such depressing and disadvantageous. circumstances the forces we sent thither on the recent foolhardy expedition against the Ashantee King should be decimated by sickness and morta lity. The recklessness with which men were de• spatched to such a coast without a plentiful pro vision of all necessaries was altogether unpardon able, but the melancholy event has turned public attention to the matter, and the question now asked is not only why the men should not have beet, better cared for, but whether they should have been out there at all. According to Mr. WIN 'cYO READE, the Ashantees are very unwilling to go 1 .0 war with white men. Posaibly being a sharpand intelli gen t tr ib e t h ey have some idea , it of the hopelessness of the conflict at close quarters, and also, as Mr. RE ADE suggests, they may be in flaencedby the fear o f losing those small luxuries to which they hrole become accustomed, such as cotto n, beads, rum, and even am mun iti on . IL lit for the mo s t p art qu i et cdoeuscrrteiboeuss,thaennid as bein g off_ urinate, and affirms that he 'earned from aa officer engaged in the late expedi tion that our men went on one occasion througl, an ambush of 200 Ashantees, without injury and without knowing of the ambush, until they were told of it by an Ashen tee whom the psntis had captured. Tnis was the first expedition i n Which the loss of life from fever was so frightfully rapid , end it returned without seeing an Ashantee, so that the natives did not certainly put themselves is the way of our troops. This unsetisfactory transaction seems likely to open the whole question of the mitt :Dry occupation of such unhealthy quarters. At the best of times, says Mr. WINWORTH READE, mili tary hospitals are always tolerably full. It lb by no means certain how far military occupa lion tends to foster trade, although it was for its protection that it was originally designed. SucL xpedients are not usually conducive to commercia, prosperity, and the freer and more unaided the action of trade, the more extensive and satisfactors teL a action in most c a s e s. I t veins that more might be done by a naval than a military force, end with less risk to health and life. The whole cieestion stands in need of careful and impartial inquiry, since before we deport so many men to Sc unhealthy a loonlity, and insist on their remaining in occupation of it, it is surely well to ascertain how far such a costly sacrifice is absolutely eesane Hal. Nothiag sleart of actual necessity can justify raathtmance a a force in no inaalubrioua a clis trict, and unfortunately the previous proceedings J f cur authorities are not calculated to inspire confidence in the prudence of their actions or the wisdom of their decisions. The subject of education is not a very novel one. It has become a truism to say that educa tion is beneficial to every man t that properly given it develops his faculties and fits him for whatever station he may occupy, for whatever work be may take in hand. The old days are quite passed away in which the advocates of education had hard work to convince those of the old school hat it was desirable for the lower classes to get beyond reading the Bible and spelling their name; a fact, at the present time the danger lies rather in the opposite direction of overmuch teaching. Still there is a gradually increasing sense of the impor ance of cultivating the mind, which makes the subject fresh end always fel of interest ; and very , ately the public schools commission has opened the question with regard to our great seminaries of instruction. A want is beginning to be felt in our scholastic system, which the energy and enter erprise of Englishmen will not long delay to supply. there is a wide gap between the nstional school and Eton, Harrow, and their rival establishments, yet this vacancy lies just where the wants of a very large and important class of the British public —those of the middle rank—need instruction. Mr. GATHORNE HARDY referred to this subject in de,i ivering an address the other evening at a school if signed in some measure to supply this want. The cession was the annual examination and distribu tion of prizes at the Westminster and Pimlico Commercial Schoo!s, which was founded to provide 1 satisfactory education for the children of , radesmen and small profess'o3al men in Westminster and its neighbourhood. Mr. HARDY, who occupied the chair, observed that the chief hing which commended itself to their notice, was ne question of middle class education, which was ?he only education not assisted throughout. In the leper rankatbere are the endowed colleges and great Jublic schoo s, the recipicuts of substantial bene ractions from their ancestors. For the lower classes there are the national schools, which give a good -ountl education to the children of working men ; ,ut for the smaller tradesmen and people of that class there is an absolute lack. It has been proven )y the inquiries of the commission that many of the small introductory schools are superficial in their teaching, and there is good reason to fear that a uperficial education is all that is gained in mans nstances by the class of which we have spoken. Ar. HARDY observed that it was especially impor tant at the present day that men of the middic - auks should be well informed, else the growing intelligence and increasing knowledge of the classes selow them would soon outstrip them. The boys of the school which he was then addressing would )ro'oably in after rife have to preside over others, to lder, guide, and rule them, and if their subordinates n position were realty their superiors in intellect, ,ow difficult and dangerous would be such a situa ion. There is much need that something should 38 done for the solution of this difficulty, and the establishment of good sound public schools for the tower middle classes will exercie.e a most beneficiai ufleence on the general intelligence of the country, ,nd supply a long existing want. The Countess (Dowager) of Jersey has returned o her residence in Berkeley-square, from Middleton Park, Jest. Bicester.

TUE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE VOLUNTEERS. —ln reply to a letter from Lord Bury, thanking nis royal highness for the honour conferred upon the Civil iervice Rifles by the late royal inspection, the Prince of Wales writes:—" Marlborough-house, June 10, 1561.

Mr. 1)Bit/tut writes to the Guardian to defend himself from a charge of disingenuousness made by that paper in a review of " Tao Revolutionary Epick," and based on an alteration which Mr. Disraeli had made in the new edition of that poem. He says that in omitting the cords " Nature's laws" (which in the original edition are eud to have approved the bold blow that Brutus struck) he has made a " purely literary" alteration. AN EARTHQUAKE PENDULUM is rather a start ;ing instrument, but it is in use by Mr E. J. Lowe, the astronomer of Highfield House, near Nottingham, who by its means witnessed "a sensible movement of the earth from VT, N.W. to E.5.E.,” on the evening of the Sunday before last, succeeded by "an almost cmstanl movement," though less "sensible," for the space of two hours during the following midnight.

EDUCATION GRANT FOR SCOTLAND.—A minute of the Committee of Council on Education, dated the 11th inst., has been laid before Parliament. It directs that the following letter of instructions to be issued to Her Majesty's inspectors of schools in Scoiknd : —" The Revised Code, so far as payments to elementary schools are con. earned, is suspended in Scotland until June F,O, 1865. You will continue strictly to inspect and examine schools accord ing to the forms and instructions of the Revised Code.

THE OLD STORY.—Grouse are abundant on all the moors of the surrounding forests. No better weather could have been wished for the hatching and bringing the young broods to maturity. Already the young birds are tad getting strong, and the broods are large and numerous. For maNy years past there have not been such promising and cheering prospects for the sportsman. Pt irrnigan, black cock, and all other game are plentiful; while hares and rabbits, more especially the latter, are swarming in au h numbers on the low grounds as to be a perfect nuisance, not only to farmers but also the young plantations, where their desttuctive ravages must, if con tinned, end in utterly destroying the young firs and larches.

Last evening Mr John Humphreys, coroner for East 3liddlese3, held two inquests, one at Bethnal-green, and the other at Shoreditch, on the bodies of children suffocated in bed. The coroner observed that thousands of children were destroyed annually by the carelessness of parents, and they were called " Saturday night cases," because the chief portions of such deaths occurred on the Saturday night, when the parents would eat hearty suppers and indulge largely in intoxicating; drinks, after which the children were placed between them and o7erk.id, whereby they became sufloc . .ted. Verdict in each ease—Acc;idantaly bufbcatgd alMgll th 9 Car9le:§Aehq Gi tha pervate, THE CHURCH OP ST, JOHN OF JERUSALEM, (This Day.) In connection with a noble Hospital, under the same title as the above, there has been formally opened today, in Great Ormonde street, the very beautiful Church of St. john of Jerusalem. It is the sole foundation of Sir George Bowyer, Bart., M.P. De signed, as the Hospital is, for the relief of the afflicted of all countries, classes, and creeds indis criminately, the opening of the sacred edifice attached to it was solemnly inaugurated by H. E. Cardinal Wiseman, assisted by a number of Roman Catholic Dignitaries in the presence of a very fashionable congregation. High Mass ccm menced at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The procession, vvnich fie() into the sanctuary from the sacristy to the sound of Mendels• sobn's Wedding Marsh from the Midsummer Night's Dream a procession ushered in by acholytes bearing lighted wax tapsrs, and swing ing the thurible of incense, included in its array, besides a number of R mats Catho is priests several high dignitaries of their commie nion. Among the latter were the Right Res. Di. Murrie, Bishop of Troy (in partibus); the Right Rev. Dr. Grant, " Bishop of Southwark ;" the Right Rev. Ylonsignore Manning, the Very Rev. Dr. Hearn, and—immediately preceded by the Very Rev. Canon O'Neil and Mon signore Searle—his Eminence Cardinal IViseman. Tne music was of no one " Mass" in par ticular, brit consisted of a selection. It was performed by an excellent choir with orchestral rccompaniments. Toe Kyrie was from Haydn's Imperial Mass—the Gloria from the same great corn. poser's Sixteenth. At the Gradual was given the jus Anirnam from Rossini's " Stabat Mater." At the Offertory, from the same masterpiece, the In j iammatus. The " Credo" was Weber's. But the "Sanctus," the " Benedictue," and the " Agnns Dei," wore all from Haydn, the last men tioned of these, like the lip ie, from the Imperial Mass. Immediately after the Gospel, an impressive sermon was delivered by Cardinal Wiseman from the brief but suggestive text, " Heal the sick"—an injunction enforced by the after-words, " Freely you have received, freely give !'"This sermon, which occupied some considerable time in the delivery, was illustrative, for the most part, of the fact that the whole notion of a hospital originated with Christianity. The idea of healing the sick, said the Cardinal, appeared never once to have entered into the imagination of the most refined and civiiised races of antiquity. Charity, in effect, bad no existence, as a ward even, much less as a living principle, until the foundation of Cnristianity. Among he pagan Romans, it was true, there was a diace set apart in each camp for the accommodation of the wounded soldiery. Ac—in the establish ments of the wealthier patricians of the em• pire, there were infirmaries for the con venience of such slaves of the household as were indisposed. Bat these things were done purely as matters of convenience. Tee healing of suffering nunannity was not for a moment seem ingly dreamt or—until the coning of the G:iod Physician l " Break the bread to +he hungry" was said of old to the pious Jew by nis prophet. But—the helping the leper, the para • !pie, the fever stricken, the consumpiiee—all this cline only with Christianity. Wherever Jesus or N z o.et h went—there wile the modelof the Hospital. Ihe blind by the wayside clamoured to bin fur aid. Iha leper, denied access to the abodes of men, and regarded with loathing by all others, were per mated to come freely to Him to be cleansed. One powerful word from His lips was enough. At Hie bidding the cripple rose, took up his bed and walked. The mere touching of the hem of His girment was a sovereign remedy—tae mere flitting by of His shadow! All the agonies and infirmi ties of man disappeared at His approach. The Hospital was given to us then in all its perfected organization. And here—in this Hospital of at. John of Jerusalem, in the very midst of London, was another of those noble structure: which had been raised in such splecnour in all ages of Carittianity and which are to be found scattered far and wine over the surface of Christendom. Edifices eo ex episitely designated, each of them, in France Hotel Dien—Palace of God! • This noble building of The Church of St. John of Jerusalem is both externally and inter nally, but especially within, worthy of ell praise as an architectural achievement. It is in the Italian style and has a polished and carved Portland stone front in Great Ormond-street, a frontrage greatly adding to the appearance of that thoroughfare. Inside, the building is sumptuously finished .vith marble pilasters with richly gilded c .pitals and cornices—and having a carved and ribbed roof crowned by a remarkably elegant cupola. The structure appears to be occupied, to the extent paved with polished marble. Besides two side altars. of nearly one half of it, by the sanctuary, which is upon either hand, the High altar stands imme diately below the dome, with a magnificent balda ehinoor canopy composed of varied and costly marble —the baldachins sustained over this central altar upon the summit of four noble pillars of mottled and cream-colonred marble, each of them surmounted with a richly gilded Corinthian capital. Behind (his, fronting the entrance door of the church, is the choir of the nuns who are in at tendance upon the poor patients in the adjoining hospital—the very same community (it may be interesting to mention) which did such good ser vice for our wounded soldiers in the Crimea and at Scutari. The nuns' choir, which is fiited up with carved stalls of mahogany as well ati of woods of various other descriptions, is surmounted by a grille, hrough the gilt lattice-work of which the sister riood are dimly distinguishable. Two tribunes, with carved stone corbels, and polished alabaster parapets ..re for the accommodation, one of them, of toe tower ward of the Hospital, the other, of the choir and organist. The hospitat next door sccomodatee 44 patiters, most of them incurable, and is at ranged with every appliance which modern saatary science has invented. The convent e xtends behind the church, and will eccomodate 30 Sis ters of Merc y with spacious and well arranged, but perf.ctly simple apartments. Tne whole of these works have been done at tl c expense of Sir George Bowyer, by Mr. Simpson, contractor, of 241, Tottenham -court-road, , George from the d.signs and under the superintendence of Guldie, Ezq , architect, of 31, Glioucestersplace, Portman-square, London.

Not Dead Yet. By J. C. jeaffeeson, author of "Live it Down," S;o. Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. Unwearying perseverance and undying hope are virtues which the author of "Live it Down" and "Not Dead Yat" dearly loves to inculcate. If dis appointment dishearten you, if misfortune over whelm you—no matter, endure and you will conquer. Whatever the evil, " Time works wonders," Patience overcomes all things—live it down. Such is ala J:sffreson's philosophy, and vary powerfully, by precept, and example does his , luquent pen enforce the lesson, Mr. Jettflresou's very brilliant, powers as a novel writer are very abundantly manifested in this new work. Ha. sktachts of ccarect€r are sonic or them most feli mous, his descrip;tons are very charming and hit mysteries very intricate ; nevertheless, there are some very serious fl ',vas in the new novel now aelare us. The story is, to say the least cc most improb id 4).

Nese brothers, .! - .?upert duo Ed ward, may be brick aesiguatect as a "knave," a c,ever, untclupuhiu,, oypocrttical knave, and a " 00l ," whuge crtthiloat goodness is certainly incredible. Edward Smith, the good hero, is so wonderfully and quixotically goon as to be raised almost beyond the reach of auman syrup thies, he is apparently so little dis - urbed by the ordinary weaknesses of humanity "A good man struggling with the ills of fate" is au object of intense interest to beholders, but Edward Smith can sacrifice himself without a struggle We could justify our assertion by an Enumeration of his heroic actions, but we are reluctant to betray the'mysteries of the story. In these days of sensa tion writing the critic's hands are tied, he is upon honour with the author who has entertained him, not to reveal what he has learned. We must con tent ourselves, therefore, with a superficial allusion to the narrative, into the details of which we shall not enter. The story is very elaborate, and we are inclined to regard the construction as faulty. (here is too much preliminary preparation (end ye; that preliminary portion is so charmiugly described we are loath to quarrel with it), while the more .mportant business has to be crowded into a brief space towards the conclusion, just as our It gislators exercise their eloquence by flowery discussions at the beginning of the session and overwork themselves to make up for lost time at the close. The story opens in the year 1846, the principle events of which are thus vividly enumerated— 1816. It was a year when men who liked to talk about politics had an abundant supply of topics in events, foreign and domestic. The French had their brilliant affairs in Al geria; Portugal was carrying on a grim contest with in surrecsion in her northern provinces; Spain was in a ierment about matrimonial pr,j,:cts which by no means met with universal satisfaction; in Poland there was a sharp contest between Liberty and General Collin ; and California joined hands with the United Sates, whils:; that happy family made war upon the Mexicans. England, too, had tier peculiar causes of disquiet and fear, her particular sources of mirth and gratutaiiun. In eland, pour people died of hunger, whilst rich men were removed by assassination ; in India, Sir Harry Smith won the ba,tle of Aliwall, an, Sir H.ugh Gough the battle of Sobraon. In London, Lady Blessington received, at Gore House, a distinguished vis.tor trout the fortress ot Ham; and King Hudson slid entertained his worshippers at Albert Gate, although the railway panic, following cio: aon the railway mania, had wrung a wail DI agony nom the land, and hu , led duwu thousands of fami lies trout r iii -once to want: In populous ;owns and rut, villages Um d.sconient of indigent workmen inepireo %Alarm:. lenders wan courage, and struck terror into tht mind ; and amidst the contusion. consequent ens' distress an tawine, with angry menaces and (moment owls, the minouncepiii.ns and mis_mostructions. whict always attend the coal eta of great parties. at heat. thoroughly honest an,. desperately earnest, the grand battle between Free Trade and Protection terminated suddenly in ,tte abolition of the corn laws, By these events and oche occurrences scarcely less momentous was marked the yera 1616, the year in which this tale begins. AL the R ,5 al Academy Exhibition of 1846, E I werc Smith, the artist-hero of the tale, has two pictures dud ho here makes acqu,intance with one of th‘ most conspicuous characters of the story, and on, evidently a favourite with the author, Joun Harri son New bolt, the Radical member for Harting. Nis self-made man with his wealth and his presumption, his egotistical gt n:rosily and his overbearing tyranny, is very happily and powerfully described. Very charming is the sketch of his pet daughter Yo', one of the most guileless, and fascinating, and natura; of heroines. Her sister Ida is very delightful in her way, but why is she a hunchback and a cripple ? It is quite painful to be continually told of tier "limping" here and "limping" there in pur suance of some benevolent intention. We must now say a word about the other hero, the evil genius of the tale, MR. RUPERT SMITH. A smiling, fastidious, playful dandy—the youngest member of that last school of dandyism which, in 1816, was a pretest against the ludicrous vulgarities of the " gents," and the offensive coarseness of the " fast men," and which died out soon after the extinction of its founder and brightest ornament, Court d'Oraay—Rupert was always well and expensively apparelled; and as he now sat in his friend's easy chair, he was dressed in a style which would have made any Mayfair tailor glad to point him out as a customer. Every detail of his costume was in keeping with its principal ingredients. In his long, blue frock-coat—a garment which no young man of 1864 would think of wearing except at his wodding—light waistcoat, shirt front of finest linen and spotless wititeness, lavender trousers, natty boots, glossy silk eat, filmy kid gloves, and slender cane, there was no fault of shortcemiug or exaggeration on which the keenest critic of such important matters could have fixed. But notwithstanding the elaborateness and finish of Mr. Rupert's dandyism, be did not strike the observer as one who cx pendel care on peisanal decoration, because he had no p.mvers weich could have bean exercised with effect in other directions. At a glance it was manifest, that the word:- " mere coxcomb" could not be justly applied to him. There was power expressed in his well-shaped, clo'sety-trimmed tread; brightness of intellect in his merry, restless blue eyes ; m rth in his thin, fl,xible lips, betwixt which th striecch, white teeth were rather too conspicuous; and im perturbable good buoieur in :he smile which played over uis comely lt.ce, of which tbeticented wrlskers were periodt early pinted and curled by the most accomplished urns in Tru,fi,'a est4blishurent. wiil ❑ot give a fragment, of the portrait of 11. P., that must be studied at tutl length in ti p,ges of this truthful narrative. Li the clean eotutne readers will be surprised to find, in th , fracas in Cecil street, a repetition of the famou encounter wittch actually took place in Northam berlaud-street some short time hsck—one of thest romantic incidents of real life which seem co justit3 the extravugacce •of the sensationalist. But MI. Jeuffreson, although he is inclining towards ills style, is more than a mere sensation writer. Then is thought, and power, and feeling in his writings, and his style is very natural end very delightful. With all its imperfections, "Not Dtati Yet" will IN read and remembered with interest, and will in no insignificant degree enhance the reputation alreadj atained by its author.
